I put her in the "whiny bitch" category of country music.


that assessment alone should place you near the top of any list of those
who lack appreciation of the measure of any artist, in any medium. and it's
not a personal thing. i would say that if jim roberts or jeffie, or...
well, it's just amazing that anyone could call iris dement a "whiny bitch".

I like Iris Dement's work. She has this nasal, slightly off-key,
monotone style, much like Laura Cantrell's (whom I also like). Her
lyrics are thoughtful and tough. That's the genre I call "whiny bitch."
I like it. So sue me.
